But to run with tarocchi, it would have to be tarr-o (with the stressed o as in orange.) I don't think ANYONE says it that way.I thought its origin was the Italian word Tarocchi? Didn't the cards originate in Italy and move to France later? In the Italian word Tarocchi, the emphasis is on the second syllable.
<grin> As is pronunciation, a whole different thing.

ALSO - English speakers do not refer to the capital of France as Paree... Things do get pronounced differently in different languages.
